June 2025

We stayed at this cottage for five days in early July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is centrally located in the state. It's a quick ride to Camden, Rockland and a two hours to Bar Harbor. The cottage sits on a very pretty clean lake and boat/canoe rentals are available in a campground ten minutes away. The cottage is fully furnished. The kitchen has everything you need. When we had a problem with the stove, the owner very quickly got in touch with the property manager who fixed the problem while we were out. The cottage is spacious and can easily host up to six people. The living room is welcoming and it's nice to sit in after a day exploring the beauty of Maine. There is a small grocery nearby and a well stocked Hannaford market not to far away. Finally, the area is very quiet and peaceful.

This was my 2nd trip there and it was just as great as it was last time. If it’s available on my next trip to Maine, I’d certainly rent it again.

This was a nice place that fit the bill perfectly for me and I’ll definitely rent it again if the opportunity came up. - No issues with check-in or out. - Temps got into the mid-90’s and the heat pump kept up with no issues. - Wifi worked great. Mobile phone service was non-existent for me. - The water pressure in the shower was fine, and the hot water was plenty hot. - Dedicated parking was really convenient. - Gas station with convenience store was a few minutes up the road. - Figure on bringing about 1 gallon of potable water per adult per day for: coffee/tea, hydration, and brushing.

This cottage across from Sennebec Pond was a great experience. The host was very helpful and very nice. We will definitely be back. The only thing I will say is it is very rustic which is my taste but might not be for everybody. I am looking forward to booking again in the future!
